I LIKE TO GO FAST

I’m driving, driving, driving in my car   I’m driving, driving, driving in my car

I like to go fast    I like to go fast   F A S T fast   F A S T fast

I could have been a NASCAR driver   Because I like to speed

I had a Chevy Nova   307 V8

I had a Plymouth Fury   I had a Plymouth Fury

In Green Hornet green   Green Hornet green

I like to go fast     I like to go fast

So out on the local highway    When things look pretty  good

Push the pedal   Fire down the road    Fire down the road 

Fire down the road     Fire down the road

Things are lookin’ pretty good   I like to go fast    I like to go fast

Fire down the road   I like to go fast

SONNY BOY KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah   You shut up  Shut up

Sonny boy know what he’s doing   Shut up

Shut up    Sonny boy knows what he’s doing

Sonny Boy   Sonny Boy

She’s not such a bad old crow at that    You shut up

She’s not such a bad old crow at that    You shut up

She’s not such a bad old crow at that     You shut up

Not such a bad old crow at that

Sonny boy knows what he’s doing

 

OUTSIDE INSIDE

Outside   Outside   Oh yeah   Wherever I am   I like to step outside

Wherever I am   I like to step   Outside

I guess outside  Is inside of myself   I guess outside   is inside of myself

Even at home   Wherever that may be   I find myself heading outside

But then again, inside has its perks   Inside   Gotta strike a balance

Outside inside outside inside outside inside out   Oh yeah

 

MUST I THINK JUST LIKE YOU

Must I think, just like you   (3x)   Just like you    Just like you

Must I agree     With what you say   Must I agree with what you say

Even though it’s the other way   Just like you   Must I think   Must I think

Just like you   Even though it’s the other way

 

THE BOGEY MAN IS REAL (TEACH YOUR CHILDREN)

As a child I believed in the bogey man

I was afraid    I was afraid   Of the bogey man

Well now that I’m older I can see

The bogey man in government   The bogey man in media

The bogey man in public schools   The bogey man in medicine

The bogey man   Teach your children that the bogey man is real

Teach your children the bogey man is real

The bogey man   The bogey man is in my head

The bogey man is in my head

 

IT COULD HAVE BEEN ALL BAD CIRCUMSTANCES

Here we go   Here we go   It could have been all bad circumstances

It could have been all bad circumstances   Who knows   Who knows

Well that man hanging on a cross   Next to Jesus   That man

His life was probably not, oh so very good   His life   probably not so good

Well, it could have been all bad circumstances

Yet he knew, knew in his heart   His life so far   His life so far

Could only end   Could only end

Real bad    Real bad   But, he was   He was forgiven

He was, he was, he was forgiven   Yeah I know it’s true

Could it be you  You too   Could it be you   You too

Forgiven   Forgiven

 

MY EVER READY BATTERIES ARE NEVER EVER READY

Alright let’s go   My ever ready batteries are never ever ready

My ever ready batteries   They’re never ever ready

What’s goin’ on   I’d like to know   What’s goin’ on

America China Thank you very much   America China Thank you very much

Politics and riches   Politics and riches   What a thoughtful touch 

Politics and riches   What a thoughtful touch   Let me take it all in

They’re adding zeroes at the end of the numbers

Their portfolios, to their portfolios

That’s the status quo   Yeah we know its fraud   Inside information

Inside information   Inside information

Let’s serve another term   Let’s serve another term

Yeah this is a really good ride   This is a really good ride   Oh yeah

This is a really good ride

Gotta get em out  We gotta get em out

 

WHOOPSIE DAISY

Alright   Yeah   Let’s boogie   We’re gonna boogie

Whoopsie Daisy   Whoopsie Daisy

Whoopsie   Whoopsie    Whoopsie Daisy

I knocked down a row of surfboards

I knocked down a row of surfboards

All I could think of what to say Is Whoopsie Daisy

Whoopsie Daisy   Whoopsie Daisy

I know this is your beach    You’ve made that clear

Whoopsie Daisy   Whoopsie Daisy   Whoopsie Daisy   Whoopsie Daisy

 

JUST ANOTHER STORY TO TELL

Oh yeah   Oh no    Oh yeah   Oh no

Just another story to tell   Just another story to tell

Another person    Another person headed for hell

Headed for hell   Just another story to tell

Another person headed for hell

Well, there are those of us   There are those of us   Who will intercede 

Will intercede   When they see another story to tell

When they see, they see another story to tell

Another person headed for hell   You gotta do what’s right  

You gotta do what’s right   Don’t be afraid to tell them a little story

How to get out of hell   To get out of hell   Just another story

 

THE DRAIN (THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS CONTROL)

The drain   Is drinking up our blood   The drain   The drain needs to be plugged

Government    Psycho rulers   Politics    So much hatred    Hatred

It’s all about control    The object of the game is control   Listen to me

Please listen to me   The object of the game is control   The drain

 

 

SONG ABOUT NOTHING

This song is about nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing at all, nothing, nothing, nothing at all

Well I might change my mind   Change my mind

This song, this song is about something   Something, something, something

This song is about…    Where are you going   It’s a question

This song is about where are you going      Going

 

I’M LAUGHING AT MYSELF

I’m laughing   Laughing at myself   Ah ha ha ha ha

I do that quite a lot   Yes I do that quite a lot   Laughing at myself

Well I thought it was Monday   When I called a friend

Well I thought it was Monday   When I called a friend

It was really Tuesday   What’s a day   What’s a day   What’s a day

What’s a day   That’s a good question   That’s a good question

It cannot be answered tonight    It cannot be answered tonight

Tonight       tonight     tonight

 

THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU IN THE MUD

They want to keep you in the mud   Ok   Alright   The mud
